Description
1g~4~745 This invention relates to seals of the type used to seal hasps in enclosures, such as doors of vehicles, merchandise containers, mail bags and the like where the function of the seal is to detect pilferage.
Xnown seals of this type are formed of a single piece of molded plastic with male and female fastener portions disposed on opposite ends of an elongated shackle, said fastener portions being adapted for non-separable engagement. A seal of this type is described in U. S. Patent 3,466,077 issued September 9, 1969.
This seal has been found to be highly satisfactory in many applications, since to remove the seal, the shackle must be cut, since it is impossible to disengage the interlocking fastener portions without permanent damage thereto. However, it has been found that in situations where personnel must remove hundreds of seals per day to unload the bag contents, the cutting of the seal is time consuming, and the cut seals accumulate on the floor.
Some other types of seals used for this purpose are provided with a weakened portion in the shackle, which must be strong enough to resist breaking during normal handling, yet must be weak enough to break readily when tampered with by unauthorized personnel, and to permit rapid removal by authorized personnel.
However, it has been found that if the breaking strength is great enough to resist fracture during rough handling, it is great enough to cause sore fingers in the personnel that must open a large number of bags per day.
The seal disclosed herein comprises a molded socket with a shackle extending therefrom, the portion of the shackle adjacent the socket being in the form of a wide strap, and the distal portion being smaller and having means thereon for non-removable engagement with the socket. In the portion of theshackle immediately adjacent the socket, a weakened portion is provided, which, in one embodiment of the invention, is formed by a transverse slot which does not extend to either edge of the strap. The position of the weakened portion of the strap insures that during assembly, when the shackle is inserted through a staple to retain a hasp in the closed position and the end of the shackle inserted into the socket and pulled tight, very little of the pulling tension is applied to the weakened portion so that the danger of fracturing the seal during assembly is greatly reduced, A finger loop is also provided which extends from the socket in a direction opposite to the direction of the shackle, so that when the finger loop is pulled to fracture the seal, the pulling force is applied directly to the weakened portion of the shackle. The finger loop is provided with a contour that mini-mizes abrasion to the figures of employees required to remove the seals.
In accordance with an embodiment, a shackle seal formed of resilient plastic comprises a socket, a shackle extend-ing from the socket, said socket and the remote end of the shackle having means for locking engagement, a weakened portion formed in the shackle adjacent the socket, and means extending from the socket for grasping for breaking the shackle at the weakened portion after the seal is assembled, said means com-prising a loop forming an aperture for receiving a finger.
In accordance with a further embodiment, a shackle seal formed of resilient plastic comprises a shackle, an upstanding socket at one end of the shackle, the opposite free end portion of the shackle a~ the socket having means for locking engagement, in which means is formed in the shackle near the socket providing a weakened portion and means is provided extending from the socket in a direction opposite the shackle for grasping for pulling to fracture the weakened portion.
In accordance with a still further embodiment, a ~shackle seal comprises a flat band portion having a hollow socket ~¢~41~7~5 at one end thereof, the axis of the socket being perpendicular to the plane of the band, and an end portion extending from the other end of the band, said end portion and said socket having interengaging means whereby said end portion may be inserted into one end of the socket into locking engagement therein, said band having a weakened portion formed therein closely adjacent the socket, and a loop extending from the other side of the socket opposite the band, said loop being substantially co-planar with the band and forming an aperture for receiving a finger for pulling to fracture the weakened portion to remove the assembled seal.
The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings which show a preferred form thereof and wherein:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a seal embodying the features of the invention;
Figure 2 is a view in side elevation, partly in section, of the seal of Figure l;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the seal of Figure 1 assembled with the staple and hasp of a mail bag, Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 illustrating the method of fracturing the seal.
Referring to the drawing, there is illustrated a seal 10 which is particularly adapted for use in sealing, to provide evidence of tampering, a fastener having a staple 12 and hasp 14. The staple and hasp may be assembled onto a strap 16 used to close the mouth of a mail bag 18 or the like.
The seal 10 is preferably formed of a single piece of molded resilient plastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene, -2a-, ,, 87~5 and comprises a hollow socket 20, a shackle, said shackle comprising a relatively wide flat band 22 extending from the base of the socket and a smaller end portion 24 extending from the remote end of the band 22 The socket 20 is generally frusto-conical with a central aperture 25 and internal resilient fingers 26 formed integrally with the aperture walls, said fingers 26 extending toward the base and being inclined inwardly to form a restricted opening therebetween to cooperate with rearwardly facing shoulders 28 formed by enlargements 29 on the end portion 24, so that when said portion enters the socket, the ends of the fingers 26 seat behind the shoulders to lock the shackle in the socket.
me above described and illustrated structure of socket, fingers and end portion 28 of the shackle is similar to that disclosed and claimed in U. S. Patent 3,467,424 issued September 16, 1969, however in the illustrated embodiment the frusto-conical shape of the socket provides a greater rigidity to the structure to resist squeezing or other methods of attempt-ing to deform the socket to release the shackle.
To facilitate removal of the seal by authorized per-sonnel and to detect, a transverse slot 30 is provided in the band 22 closely adjacent the socket 20, The slot has a length in relation to the width of the band such that the portions of the band on opposite sides of the slot are connected only by two narrow portions 32 at the side edges thereof.
To provide means for grasping the seal to effect fracture and disengagement, a finger loop 34 is provided, which extends from the socket in a direction opposite to the band 22 and generally co-planar therewith. The loop is suitably con-toured to provide a smooth surface for grasping by a finger.
The seal 10 is readily assembled by passing the end of the shackle through the staple outside of the hasp, and inserting 1~48745 the end of the shackle into the socket. The presence of the slot 30 and its position facilitates the bending of the otherwise somewhat stiff band to get the end of the shackle into position to enter the socket, and insertion of the end of the shackle into the end of the socket is made easier by the concave shape of the top of the socket, which provides a bigger target for the end of the shackle.
The leading end portion 38 of the shackle is free of socket-engaging enlargements for a distance from the end thereof which is greater than the height of the socket. Hence on insertion the end of the shackle protrudes from the opposite end of the socket before an enlarged portion encounters the fingers in the socket. The extreme end of the shackle may be provided with smaller radial protuberances 40 which have a maximum diameter such that they do not resist passing through the socket, but provide a finger-gripping surface to enable completion of the assembly by pulling the shackle through the socket until one of the enlargements 28 engages the fingers 26, In the usual case the shackle will be pulled through the socket until the leadlng end of the band 22 engages the end of the socket.
The position of the slot 30 is such that very little of the tension applied to the shackle during assembly is applied to the weakened portion, because of the friction of the band passing around the staple, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of accidentally fracturing the seal while it is being assembled.
The position of the slot also facilitates the intentional fracture of the seal, since when the finger loop 34 is pulled, the tension is transmitted directly across the base of the socket to the weakened portion.
When the seal is removed by pulling with a finger, rather than by cutting, the seal remains in one piece for easy ,, , l(J48745 disposal, so that no broken pieces of seals fall to the floor, which has been a common complaint with metal seals used hereto-fore.
Since certain obvious changes may be made in the illus-trated embodiment of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained herein be interpreted in an illustrative and not a limiting sense.
